The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Title Announcement Prime Video [View all]

I remember back in the 70's, after reading the trilogy for the first time and talking with friends about how cool it would be if they made a movie out of it. I remember talking my parents into taking me and my friends to see the premier of Bakshi's animated version at the Ziegfeld down in midtown Manhattan. I remember thinking what an amazing job Jackson did with the trilogy in live action... Especially the extended versions. And while the extended Hobbit movies had their moments, I remember being overall disappointed.

So... Overall, I've gotten and been pretty happy with what I wanted as a kid.

I'm not certain I ever wanted or needed this though... I really do hope they show me that I did want this all along and that I'm just as happy with what they do.
